Meet The People of PCCOA
Our History
The Preble County Council on Aging is a private, non-profit, 501(c)(3) social service organization which was incorporated by the State of Ohio in 1973. Its purpose and mission is “Partnering with our community in assuring the best quality of life for our seniors, now and into the future.”
In 1987, the agency received designation as the focal point for the provision of services to the elderly within Preble County by the Area Agency on Aging and the Ohio Department of Aging. Certain in-home and community based services are provided for Preble County residents who are age 60 and older. Eligibility, for some of these services, is determined by an assessment and prioritization process that ensures services are provided to those most in need of the service. Clients may be assessed a fee for these services, but voluntary donations are encouraged.
Participation in Senior Center activities are geared towards participants who are 60 years of age or older, and are generally on a first-come, first-served basis. Fees are not assessed for participation unless there are additional costs associated with the event, such as cost of food for a luncheon, fees for entertainment, trip fares, instructor fees, etc., and these are passed along to participants.
It is the policy of the Preble County Council on Aging Inc., not to discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, ancestry, genetic information, disability, national origin, or age, or other protected activity in providing services to eligible clients, activities to eligible participants, staff hiring and promotion, and volunteer recruitment, retention, and recognition.
